The House Before

Warning! I'll be blogging about the new house quite a bit this week. Our weekend was full of moving, packing, unloading and organizing. Now we've spent two nights in our new home and it's great! I love living in an actual neighborhood where everyone waves at you, all the dogs want to play with you and it's okay to be in bed by 10:30 because the rest of the neighbors are. It's quiet and cozy on our block, but we're still really close to some hopping restaurants and mingling areas. I can't wait to get completely moved in and acquainted with our new home.

We've done a ton of work to our new place in just the six days we've owned it. Nothing drastic yet, but like I said before, this place needed some love. Everything is coming along including furniture and small projects. I can't wait to show photos of the final look, but here are some quick snaps of the place the day we closed on it.

We have a giant tree in front of the house, which I love! I'm also in love with all the big windows! So much natural light!

The backyard is probably the area that's needed the most work. We have a fabulous deck with built-in seating and everything, but the bamboo ...

More on that later this week! I hope you've enjoyed a quick preview of our place! I can't wait to show you how it all comes together.
